We call the attention of our readers par In

course pursued by the government of

them. The Editors say, that their feelings

tiie last summer they sought occasion tola, i
his present Excellency’s patriotism ; ind th.
intemperance and excessive zeal, display'd in
his official communications to the Legislature,
upon the subject of the Treaty, &c.—and hi
''hid and almost phrenetic letters to the gener..
government, they placed to the account ol
' 'fervid sun ;” and to circumstances, whici..
playing upon the infirmity of his peculiar tem

"hich hi3 cooler reason w ould condemn. Bur
when they have found that the lapse oftim*
.«produced no change; and that his parti
«ns in this State are now acting on his former;
lecommendation, and are now preparing ie
dami by their arms the Intelligencer has
become alarmed at the consequences likely to
ensue f om the ‘momentary excitement,’ which
'he Gov- rnor and his partisans have produced,
,llc emi.ng the Treaties. In their remarks on
ibe subject, they say, that “it is u-ith a sensa

remark, that ttie mtirmity of human

•use. j
The charges made against the ail
inriistration may be classed under
ree sp cilic heads—
1. It is asserted that th Creek
night have been induced to acquiesce
i . the treaty of the Indian Springs,
this charge is made without the le -
iiindatiou as to any evidence bcloi
he [inhfic. On the contrary, Iron,
v hat lias appeared from the death* ol
Icliitosh u[> to the moment of rie l
gotiating the late Treaty, a settled]
mid adly hostility has been manifest-]
k I by a large proportion of the trib |
> the treaty of the Indian Spr.ng j
'.Ve pret.-nd not to kupw the preci |
imbers for or against the Treaty—]
iiimor fixed the pr portion of forty ]
in -lif. n thsagaiost it—l>ut it i-; know, j
.t its friends'were comparatively]
few indeed, as they were obliged, j
r the and ath of tiieir chief, to tl ]
.to Georgia for poriection. Air .|
Iter the signal proof of their hos-.
lity furnished by the death of tin]
hiefs concerned in its negotiation, it]
s cuis too improbable to be credite. ]
hgt the Creek Nation could have]
[ een induced peaceably to acquiesce]
n it. And hence it is stated, in th.
■Her of Colonel McKenney, commu-j
icatod to the Committee of Conlor
nce, that the Delegation here requir
d, as a preliminary to a second treaty
iat, that ofthe Indian Springs should
>e cancelled as utterly null and void.
That the old Treaty might have ho, .
xouted at the f mint of th»bayouett.
h re is no doubt. Rut that .tn
freeks would not have yielded ti
ny thing short of force, is equally
certain.
Tiie second charge against the D
partment is, that it pampered tin
delegation of the larger party, and
’oaded them with the favors of the
iovernment; while th - delegation ot
ho minor party was treated with
ontempt. Among the means resort
■l to of this tendency, is the charge
■xiiihited against the Secretary of
■ far of having administered to the
I ibe ofthe larger party by dispens-
I ig to them the favors oi the Govern-
I nent, while those of th - Mc Intosh
j.irtv were treateil with contempt
I* :i reference to a late correspondence
-etween Col. Tattnall and the Secre-]
ary of War, it appears that the ah]
l-iwance for both, for their personal
iccommodation, was precisely . quai.
•’he tuking the likenesses of the
'hiefs has been the -.uhject of ani
madversion. It is known to all who
■side at or visit the Seat of Govern
nt, that this practice has obtained
r years, but it is confined to chiefs
'distinction; and most of the r< si
ents and visiters here must have
•en, and with great interest, too,
the portraits of such of the different
t-ihes as had been taken under tin
■rders of the immediate predecessor
if the present incumbent of the War
department, with whom, it is believ
1, the.practice originated. Reflect
ng on the rapid disappearance ot
tie original race of men once tin
■roprietors of the fair country we
low possess, it is due to posterity
•nd to mankind generally, that tin
attires of the must di-tinguisheii
»< this race, hastening to extinction
■lould be preserved, as an object t
iture generations of great curiosity
With the same view, it will give the
[Public, pleasure to learn that our
| distinguished fellow-citizen, Mr. Ghl
| .tin, has, with a zeal highly credita-]
| le to him, and voted the energies of
| powerful* mind to the rescuin
| -m ohliv ion the languages of all t
| ff- rent tribes of the Aborigine
What a fund for science and for po
■rity xx ill not thus be collected !
The difference of dress too, to th
tlerent parties of the Creeks, has
een a subject of complaint. Ljn i
quiry, it is ascertained that tin
' as -n conformity to invariable usagi ,
. di-tinction being always made hr
ween chiefs and those of an intern
rade—a distinction highly apprecia -

need much irritation. Now, the mo-’

that the Delegation of the major
